More Than Tempt You Release Blitz with ARC Review!

 

 

I romanced her for revenge…but what if she’s not the enemy after all? I’m Clint Holmes. I was an ambitious guy with a busy life and a growing business. Sure North Dakota wasn’t a tropical paradise, but I was happy enough—until tragedy struck. Now the only thing that matters is finding the person responsible and making her pay. But Bethany Banks is a Harvard-educated shark used to swallowing her enemies whole while playing dangerous corporate games. How can a blue-collar oil man like me possibly beat her? The moment I lay eyes on my beautiful nemesis, the answer is obvious. I seduce her. On Maui, where she’s fled, I get to know the man-eater who caused my family so much pain…only to find she’s not the brazen ballbuster I assumed. She’s skittish, secretive, vulnerable. For some reason, my instinct is to protect her. I can’t abandon my plan…but I can’t stop wanting her. Night after night, I pry her open with my touch until I’m drowning in our passion. Soon, I’m questioning everything, especially the fine line between love and hate. But when the past comes back to wreak vengeance and the truth explodes, can I prove that I’m more than tempted to love her forever?

MY REVIEW:

I fell in love with More Than Tempt You! Sweet, sultry, sexy and with some amazing characters and a MUST READ plot, this story was down right succulent!

I LOVE and ADORE Shayla Black and her books. And these More Than Words series is one of my absolute favorites. But More Than Tempt you made me sigh, melt, crave and desire like no other. The story was easy to follow and the pace was just right. The romance crackled with the perfect amount of tension and made for some unforgettable scenes. Loved every moment of it!

Title: Lily and the Billionaire
Author: Beth Michele
Genre: Contemporary Romance/Romantic Comedy
Release Date: April 29, 2019



Blurb

What do you get when you cross one feisty secretary with one determined billionaire?

My name—Jace Harlow. My business—making billions.

I’ve got it all.


Money.
Confidence.
Sexual prowess.

I know—I’m quite a catch. At least to most women. But Lily Conrad isn’t like any woman I’ve met before.

Damn her and that red dress.

Now all I think about is her. All I fantasize about is her—her smile, her laugh, her long legs wrapped around my waist.

My dilemma, you ask? She doesn’t care that I’m a billionaire. And why should she? It means nothing, tells her nothing about who I am.


Lily Conrad doesn’t know what I’m made of, but you can be sure of one thing... 

She’s going to find out.

MY REVIEW:

A temptingly fun and smexy read that made me smile, sigh out loud and squirm deliciously in my seat!

I had a blast reading this book. It smoldered with passion and the characters were gloriously fun and interesting. The plot was addictive and fascinating and completely captivating. The story flowed beautifully and the pace wasn't too fast or too slow. It was just right for this read. I would be thrilled to read more from Beth Michele.

Excerpt

A light sound takes me out of my own head. I look to my left, and what I see robs me of my breath. I stand taller, suddenly unable to remember my own thoughts. A profile of porcelain skin, a sharp nose, and—Jesus—a full red lip claim my attention. Hair the color of amber piled high on her head, soft tendrils frame her face. I want to let it down, comb my fingers through it, see if it’s as soft as it looks…and I keep looking, because it’s impossible not to.
The smooth lines of her nape are set in grace, my tongue already mapping the perfect path down her skin. My eyes keep going because there’s no stopping them now. Moving lower to the dress, the color is a deep red, the neckline plunging. Being six foot one has its advantages. Even from the side, I can see the dip of cleavage. I lick my lips, already begging for a taste, wanting to know if she’s as sweet as she looks. Then I continue on, because wild horses couldn’t drag me away. I need to see more.
Unfortunately, as far as skin goes, the rest is covered by the floor-length gown. Whoever she is, she’s stunning, and I can’t stop staring. She has pleasure and sin written all over her. I’m hard now. My body ready to do what is instinctual to me.
For the first time in…well, forever, I want to be reckless. I want to throw her over my shoulder and drag her to the nearest closet. Sift through all that red, lush fabric and find her pussy. Put my mouth there, sweep my tongue across her clit. Drag an orgasm out of her that makes her see stars, makes her see no one but me. I laugh under my breath because that would be a first.
As if she knows what I’m thinking, she turns my way, and I’m knocked on my ass. My first thought: I want to get down on my hands and knees and thank God for this gift from heaven. Jesus. If I thought she was gorgeous from the side, head-on, she’s exquisite. Her eyes are a moss green. No, no—that description will not do. Because that doesn’t begin to describe soft sage peppered with golden yellow flecks. They’re clear and…wait, vulnerable? Or…I don’t know, apprehensive? How can a creature so beautiful be so scared? The million-dollar question—or in my case, the billionaire-dollar question.
When I realize I’ve been staring too long, I force a word from my lips. Any word will do at this point. “Hello.”
Just brilliant, Jace.
“Hello,” she says back, almost reluctantly. “Can I help you with something?”
“Pardon me?”
She gestures with one hand, long fingernails painted red to match her dress. Red: it’s a bold color, feisty—daring, even. I wonder if she’s adventurous behind closed doors, if she likes to fuck on desks, up against walls. I wonder if she enjoys taking it in what I’m sure is a perfectly curved ass. I sure as hell want to find out. I’d relish the opportunity to have her mile-long legs wrapped around my waist, grinding on my cock.
“You were staring at me.”
And thinking salacious thoughts, but I won’t mention that.
“I was?” It comes out like a question when there is absolutely no doubt it’s the truth.
The corner of her mouth turns up, but it doesn’t match her eyes. What is that I see? I want to figure it out, and then I want to take it away for her.
“Did you have a question?”
“A question?” Did I even ask a question? Why is my brain not computing? I never waver, but this woman is throwing me off my game.
Maybe she can read my thoughts. Perhaps she knows the question inquiring minds want to know: How does she like to fuck?
I’ve been silent too long, imagining all the different ways I could bring her to orgasm, and now it looks like she’s holding back a laugh. I want to hear what her laugh sounds like. Is it high and melodic or low and raspy?
“Yes. Did you have one?”
I can feel the crease slash my forehead. “I’m…”
An idiot. Confused. Tongue-tied by your beauty.
Yeah, that’ll do.
Her eyebrows lift. “You’re…”
I clear my throat and step into my confidence once again. Then I edge closer, the scent of something floral floating under my nose. “Tongue-tied by your beauty.”
She actually laughs, and here I thought I was smoother than that. But hey, I made her laugh, so point for me.

ARC Review - Before Ben by Cynthia Eden!



BLURB:

Enemies make the best lovers. 

It was a one night stand with her worst enemy. Ben Wilde was cocky, charming, and sexy as the best sin. He was also Courtney McKenna’s weakness. Every single inch of his muscled perfection was trouble and temptation. They’d sparred in the courtroom more times than she could count, and the tension between them had always been red-hot. One night should have been all she needed to get the guy out of her head and her dreams. Only…it wasn’t. 

Because before Ben, life was easy. Life after Ben? Hot. Dark. And dangerous. 

Courtney tries to fight her scorching desire for Ben even as they plan to face-off in court once again. Even as they fight for power. But once you cross some lines, there is no going back. And Ben doesn’t plan to let her go anywhere. 

He’s had a taste, but Ben wants a whole lot more. 

Ben Wilde has never believed that opposites attract, but there is something about button-downed, prim and proper Courtney that has always driven him wild. And when he gets her in his bed, the attraction he feels for her changes into a sensual obsession. Sure, they can be enemies in the courtroom, but in the bedroom, they are meant to be something else entirely. 

Be careful what you want… 

Someone out there doesn’t want Ben to have Courtney. Someone who will do anything to stop their attraction. But that predator in the dark is messing with the wrong man. When it comes to Courtney’s safety, Ben will break every rule in the book. He will stop pretending to be nice and show the world just how wicked and dangerous he can truly be. Because Courtney is his, and Ben will play dirty, he’ll play rough, and he will destroy anyone who threatens her. 

Author's Note: BEFORE BEN is a complete, stand-alone novel (no cliffhangers). It features one cocky but charming hero who will be brought to his knees, one heroine who will fight fiercely for exactly what she wants, and plenty of dark danger and twists thrown in for fun. Like a sexy story with chills and thrills? This is for you. 

MY REVIEW:

OH GOOD GAWD Y'ALL! BEFORE BEN WAS DELIRIOUSLY AMAAAAAZING! This romantic suspense was and is everything I had been craving for and more. Crackling with sizzling passion and brimming with intense suspense, danger and heart pounding action to go with the romance. I was on the edge throughout the story and LOVED IT!

Cynthia Eden is one of my FAVORITE authors when it comes to romantic suspense. They are always satisfying and leaves me wanting more and anxious to get my hands on whats next. And Before Ben wasn't any different. I fell in love with Ben from Protecting Piper and knew I couldn't wait to read his story and see who would make him fall to his charming knees. Courtney was perfection too! Sweet, soft, kind and fierce she was Ben's perfect match in and out of the courtroom. What a read!

ARC Review - Pixie (Ballsy Boys) by K.M. Neuhold and Nora Phoenix!



BLURB:

Everybody loves Pixie. 
Everybody wants Pixie. 
But Pixie needs a Daddy, and his heart is set on me. 

I’m determined to resist him, for more reasons than I can count. 

He’s too young for me. He’s my employee. And he’s everything I’ve been avoiding for half my life. 

He’s vibrant. He’s sweet. He’s absolutely perfect, no matter how much I don’t want him to be. 

I want nothing more than to take care of him, to protect him and pamper him…but how can I start something with him when I know I’ll eventually break his heart? Can I really be the Daddy Pixie needs? 

**Pixie is the fifth and last book in the Ballsy Boys Production series. It can be read as a stand-alone, but it’s more fun reading the series in order.

MY REVIEW:

There was no holding back with this book! It was gloriously HOOOT, wicked sensual and loaded with heart and a plot that just kept surprising me!

Pixie, the last Ballsy Boys story was well worth the wait. I got seriously hot reading this book. I felt weak in the knees and hot around the edges and Bear and Pixie made my heart explode with goodness. I swept through this story waaaay to fast and I hated to see it but I can say with everything I had that this book was one of the most sensual and steamy reads that stole my breath. It was AWESOME!

Pixie gets a WICKED HOT FIVE STEAMY STARS! 


Boss I Love To Hate Blog Tour Stop with ARC Review!


Title: Boss, I Love To Hate
Author: Mia Kayla
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: April 25, 2019


Dear Mr. Brisken,
How do I hate you?
Let me count the ways.
I hate your smug, sexy millionaire face.
 I hate your cocky, skirt chasing, playboy ways.
 I hate working as your secretary—but, I love the pay. It almost makes dealing with you worth it.
I hate how my friends call you a BILF, when really BILK (Boss I’d like to kill) is more appropriate.
I hate that I need you to be my date for my best friend’s wedding because my ex-boyfriend, the King of Heartbreakers, and his new busty blonde girlfriend will be in attendance.
But mostly, I hate how once the charade is over, I might not hate you at all...it was so much easier when you were the Boss I Love To Hate

MY REVIEW:

A VERY HOOOOOT AND AMAZING READ THAT WAS CAPTIVATING, FUN AND ENTERTAINING TO BOOT!

I LOOOOOOOOOOVED Boos I Love To Hate so much. The characters were entertaining and interesting and the storyline and plot made me so happy because it was super cool and  wildly sexy and crackled with the perfect amount of tension. The story flowed so well and it made sense. It was easy to follow and the characters had me smiling and sighing and loving every encounter!

Boss I Love To Hate gets a SUPER AMAZING FIVE ENTERTAINING STARS!

"Perfectly written, unique, wonderfulness. I will be rereading this over and over again. One of my top ten books ever! Mia Kayla knocked this one out of the park, she left me with more feelings than I knew what to do with. The ultimate book hangover ( I mean hangover like I couldn't get over it or stop thinking about it), nothing could compare. I had a really hard time reading anything else after this book because it was just that good!" - Early Reviewer

From what I know of him, Abel Russo is a womanizer and an absolute jerk.
Sadly, he’s the only thing stopping me from being evicted by my annoyingly gleeful landlord.

Excerpt

Abel’s lips turn up but he doesn’t take his eyes off the road. “Like what you see, Blondie?”
My cheeks redden at being caught, but I stick my chin haughtily into the air unwilling to cower at being called out. “Maybe there’s a bug on your face.”
That smile of his widens. “There’s not.”
“So confident,” I mutter, crossing my arms over my chest and staring out the windshield.
“Why wouldn’t I be? You kissed me.”
“I kissed you back, big difference.” I kick my flip-flops off and rest my bare feet on the dashboard.
“Kissing back is still kissing.”
“Ugh,” I toss my hands up, “you’re impossible.”
“Impossibly handsome? Charming? Irresistible? All three? Definitely all three.” He answers his own question.

Title: Only the Beginning
Series: Only You, #4. (Can be read as a standalone)
Author: Elle Thorpe

Cover Designer: Images for Authors

Genre/Tropes: 
Contemporary romance, Second chance romance, Enemies to lovers, Single dad, Celebrity scandal




Blurb: 
I’m the darling of Australian TV. A good-girl actress with a spotless record. Or at least, that’s what I let the public believe. But what I do behind closed doors would shock them all. I’m a far cry from the girl next door I play on their screens each night. 

Riley Clarke knows that better than anyone.

I loved him once, but for the past ten years, all we’ve done is f**k and fight. Some might say we’re friends with benefits, but the truth is, we aren’t even friends. All we are is explosive chemistry and screw-you-senseless sex. He makes me hot. He makes me feel. He makes me reckless. 

When scandal rocks my carefully constructed world and my secrets are exposed, it’s Riley’s arms that close around me, protecting me from the storm. 

But storms create floods, and a flood can drown you. You and the people you love. 

MY REVIEW;

A intense, enemies to lovers romance that had some major delicious sparks, lots of explosive chemistry and plenty of edge of your seat worthy scandals and secrets!

Elle Thorpe did a superb job with Only The Beginning. This book was impossible to put down. Engaging, exciting, delectable and  sexy this romance made my heart flip wildly. The characters were fantastic and intriguing while the plot thickens beautifully and the flow...perfection. Not once did I feel like the story was lacking or felt like it was too long. It was juuuuuust right! I could easily go back for seconds and love it just as much as the first time I read it.

Only The Beginning gets a EXPLOSIVE FIVE HOT STARS!
